real money or no game imo.

yeah i agree i think play money defeats the purpose to an extent, and i don't really see why rake suddenly becomes a huge factor just because we are playing in a tournament format...

I think you guys misunderstood I meant play money games but the money's still real aka player A and player B play they each escrow say 2k then player A wins 1k play chips from player B at the 1/2 play chips table. The escrow then sends player B 1k and player A 3k aka he still won the real money just no rake taken by FTP now. I mean if people think it doesn't feel as real or if it'd cause too much trouble for the money it'd save (if it's really $180/person per match that means the people who make top 4 will have paid $720 each in rake to play in a $500 tourney) that's one thing but I'm not talking about the money exchanged in the HU matches not counting. So basically it would still be a real money match we'd just use escrows and play it on play money tables. I think best situation would actually just be to say standard is cash tables if the people playing want to play on play money tables to avoid rake they can if they want or if either declines they play on cash tables. Seems fairest method to me.

edit: just did the math and as a group by doing it play money we'd save $5,760 if the $180/person per match figure is right.

Play money will be pretty impossible to do anyway because there's only one play money HU table AFAIK. And it's 'high stakes' play money too so we'd have to build up a play money roll. Am I wrong? ... I don't play for free at fulltiltpoker.net.

Trying to play HU at a 6max or FR play money table will just result in a bunch of play money 'sharks' sitting in and going all in every hand to f*ck with us.

I have a spot, yeah?

Guys so you all know I will be completely unable to play from August 23rd til August 28th. I hope this won't be a problem. Other than that I should be free at least a few days per week

idk about FTP but I've actually done this playing regs HU on Stars they have 1/2 so I know it's possible. But w/e if people don't want to don't really care, just a suggestion.

Yeah you have a spot. I think we still have one more spot open officially.

And yeah start shipping your escrow to Nemoindenial (same FTP SN). I've already shipped mine to zachvac.

Escrows to Nemo ASAP
Real Moneys
$500
1/2 (200nl)
3k hands
1 week to play match (possibly shorter?!)
At least 3 tables IMO.
Send to one of us the official score and can be verified on PTR

This seems pretty good, if not maybe 4k/2.5k/1k/500? Idk i'm not really fussed

Also min number of tables should surely be 4 right? I doubt anyone playing has a problem with this...

edit: And I think we should implement some kind of stack requirements a la the durrrr challenge, min at all times 75bb and can break tables if effective stacks get bigger than 250-300bbs?

Shipped 500 to realmonies on ftp

SN ecrocodiles, confirmation would be good

Sorry about your draw rumnchess

I'm out until we get all details worked out

im very interested! can sum1 jus cliff rules and how long i got to decide?

I would like to play this.

The only issue I have is I will be playing the live HU tournament in Calgary the 23-26th, so I'll be unavailable for at least a few days that week. I may be able to get in some hands there though since I won't be playing all day every day.

Screenname is Jordan Morgan on FTP, someone confirm that I am in and tell me who to send $ to whoever and let's doooooooo this.... LEEEEEEEEEROYYYYYYY JEEEEEEEEEEENKINS.

I can't tell if it was decided for sure who the escrow is or not, but I'd be happy to be the escrow if necessary. Red pro on ftp, been around forever, could probably check w FTP if there are any disagreements, etc., but if I need to send 500 to someone just let me know.

Don't think you guys should have the bracket made yet til we have 16 participants for sure and everyone agrees to rules. Then you do a RANDOM drawing.

I am out too, sorry but i just found out I am going to be very busy during the school year. Hopefully, you can find someone to replace me, which shouldn't be too much of a problem.

seems like the organization of this event is somewhat poor so far, i want out for now (sent 500 to zachvac, would want that sent back to bluelight30 on ftp, avatar - old lady, city - P), when all rules are clear i'd most definitely play.

The draw isn't even final....

???

And yeah pretty sure no one's even done the draw yet but I do agree draw shouldn't be done until all funds escrowed.

min should be 100 imo, was joking about buying in min and not topping up lol, but does anyone have a problem with something like 100 min with auto top-up on and if it gets to 250+ either player can ask to get new table for 100bb?

ok shipped 1500 to NemoInDeniaL for me/bluelight/iamalagtard
